_A Prayer for Owen Meany_ ooh I love that one. I read it many years ago. I think I've read most of John Irvings novels. At least a lot of them. I used to read constantly, but I can't seem to get back in the habit. *sigh*

OMG, I loved a Prayer for Owen Meany. Haven't read it in years. Actually, my brother recommended it. He was on a flight and in the pocket in front of him was a copy that someone had left. He loved it and recommended it.

A prayer for Owen Meany is one of my favourite books

Marina on influencers: “they are the basic sad little storm troopers of late-stage capitalism”. So good 😂

The narcissism economy is alive and kicking it seems.

So glad someone is calling out the influencers

how can you have richard osman’s house of games without richard osman?!?

I just hope they dont go with a rotating host spot like they did with pointless.

Really sad that Richard is leaving.

Not only did he land the photo of his career but, from my understanding, the cars were supposed to leave through a gate away from the paparazzi, but the gate door got stuck so they had to go out towards him.

They go through all that praise about the picture and then same day this comes out the guy admits its AI 'enhanced'. Hillarious - even these two couldn't see the slop for the trees.

About the photo! He wasn’t necessarily reaching across an oncoming car, he was most likely a bit further away and caught it coming out of police station gates and then turning left on to road.

Can we not start every episode with the same ad, I keep thinking I’ve already seen it 😂

Just an FYI guys. That ad read at the start had me clicking off because I thought I've seen this video before. Be careful the acting ad people will thing hey've seen it too. Do an intro for the video then drop the ad.

1st.... Bring back chapters please

TOTAL RAW SCORES: Round 1: Geoff 16, Karen 5, Michelle 6, Katie 14 (Total: 41) Round 2: Geoff 8, Karen 7, Michelle 10, Katie 11 (Total: 36) Round 3: Geoff 9, Karen 3, Michelle 5, Katie 13 (Total: 30) Round 4: Geoff 5, Karen 8, Michelle 7, Katie 9 (Total: 29) Round 5: Geoff 4, Karen 3, Michelle 0, Katie 7 (Total: 14) Total: Geoff 42, Karen 26, Michelle 28, Katie 54 (Total: 150) This is the second week in a row to start with four 30+ point episodes only to end with a 21 point episode.

SPOILERS BELOW . . . . . Sarah’s score of 6 points in Rhyme Time is tied for the highest ever in that game, with Al Murray (S01E01), Mike Bubbins (S06E96), and Chris Hoy (S07E63). Sarah’s total score of 9 points after Round 2 is also tied for the highest ever, with Chris Washington (S05E51), Natasha Raskin Sharp (S06E20), Johnny Cochrane (S07E65), Michael Ball (S08E08), Laurence Rickard (S08E10), Cherry Healey (S08E17), and Patrick Grant (S09E72). Finally, in total, Sarah scored 62.5% of points in this episode (15/24), the fourth-highest percentage ever, only behind Angela Barnes (14/22 = 63.6% in S04E27), Josie Long (17/25 = 68.0% in S04E47), and Ignacio Lopez (14/20 = 70.0% in S08E49).

I skip through all these episodes until I find one of the 4-5 different "games" that I like.

how can you have richard osman’s house of games without richard osman?!?

Really sad that Richard is leaving.

Richard Osman is stepping down as host? tbh idk if I'll keep watching, depends on the new host. Hope it's either someone with class like Osman or a force of chaos. I wonder if anyone would have a great acronym, ROHOG is pretty good

Please, for the love of God, let Marina finish her sentence. I love this podcast, but seriously, it can get irritating when, in some episodes, you don’t let each other finish your sentences.

You guys need to let each other finish their sentences.

Richard talking over Marina for the first 20 minutes....

There cant be too many more weeks surely ? Is this episode 80 ? So five more weeks ?

Antelope?

Finally! On the 8th DA guess we have the 2024 100m mens champion taking 80cm paces! Yup. Gormless! Or to put it another way, 12 steps per second 😂😂😂😂 Actually, id love to see 10 seconds broken with that stride length. Same person's answer to the Tower Bridge question, error factor of 100!

I just hope they dont go with a rotating host spot like they did with pointless.

If Richard has a hand in picking his successor, I have a lot of confidence it will be a good pick, and the show will maintain the same level of quality. Richard was the one that suggested Joe Marler for Celeb Traitors after he had been on HOG, so I trust Osmans judgement.
